attractions that lie throughout the Uttrakhand region. Trek On India offers extremely affordable

After a sumptuous breakfast, we drive up to Guptkashi. The name “Guptkashi” translates to
Hidden Benaras, and is derived from the legend that Lord Shiva once hid himself from the
Pandavas at this location. Guptkashi is a wonderfully pleasant place to visit in the summers.
The temperature never goes beyond 30 degrees. During the winter months, however, it can get
considerably chilly.
We make the journey via the Devprayag and Rudraprayag route, which offers us breathtaking
glimpses of river Alaknanda and Mandakini. One interesting fact is that river Mandakini actually
originates from Kedarnath, which only adds to the spiritual energy and aura that makes this
entire trip special.
While driving alongside the river, we soon find ourselves at the Ardh Narishwar temple at
Guptkashi. After taking some time to visit the temple and offer prayers, we check into our hotel,
and take the night to recuperate.
Day 2 is one of the most eventful days of the entire Chardham trip. Our destination for the day
Is Kedarnath, possibly the most well-known and widely travelled dham in our itinerary? According
To old legends, Kedarnath is the place where Lord Shiva granted the Pandavas redemption after
Many prayers and requests, upon the end of the Kurukshetra war. “Kedar” is one of the many
Other alternative names for Lord Shiva. The Kedarnath shrine boasts the entire robust
Kedarnath Mountain range in the background, and is situated at one of the most majestic
Locations possible. Because it stands tall at 3,583 meters, the temperature witnessed at the
Kedarnath shrine is almost always cold. Light to semi-heavy layers of clothing are recommended even during the summer months. During winters, the weather is so cold that it is not even widely
travelled to, and because the climatic conditions can be risky, it is even avoided. There are two main ways of reaching the Kedarnath shrine. One could either take the helicopter (Cost not included in package), for which you will be dropped to the helipad in the morning soon after breakfast. This route, though quicker, stands on the relatively expensive side. Another way to reach the shrine is by trek. You will be driven to Sonprayag, after which a local jeep to Gaurikund will seamlessly bring you to your starting point for the trek. To make your way back, you will have to follow the same route and take a local jeep to Sonprayag again. Regardless of which mode you choose to opt for, you may inform the driver about the duration of your flight or trek, so he can find a suitable place to park and pick you up the next day without any hassle. After witnessing the shrine and spending some time at the dham, we check into a hotel for the night.
We’ll meet at 4 p.m. at our hotel in Luzern (Lucerne) for a “Welcome to Switzerland” meeting. Then we’ll take a meandering evening walk through Switzerland’s most charming lakeside town, and get acquainted with one another over dinner together. Sleep in Luzern (2 nights). No bus. Walking: light.
Our last dham for the trip, i.e. Badrinath, is the objective of our day today. After breakfast, we
drive straight to Badrinath, and check into our hotel. The maximum average temperature at
Badrinath is around 18 degrees, and the minimum would be around 8 degrees. Extra layers of
clothing is always required for Badrinath, regardless of the time of the year. During winters, it
is mostly closed for tourists. One of the most significant holy rituals of Badrinath is taking a bath in Taptkund. After this, one may embark on sightseeing or darshan of Badrivishal, followed by the beautiful aarti in the evening. In the interim period, you may take the time to explore other popular gems of the region, namely Mana village (Indo-Mongolian tribe inhabited), Bhimkund, Matamoorti, Vyas gufa (the cave where Ved Vyas is said to have composed the Mahabharata), and the mouth of the Saraswati river. Most of these points of interest are located within three to five kilometres of
Badrinath After spending time at the shrine and witnessing one of the most spiritually-charged aartis you will ever witness, we stay overnight.
We shall wake up to a beautiful sunrise in Badrinath. After a sumptuous breakfast, we will drive
to Rudraprayagen route Joshimath. We shall make a stop at Joshimath at the Narsingh Temple.
